Wilderness Age
Chapter 57 Bloody Sunset 02
The middle section of the bridge collapsed, cutting off the only road to the north bank.
"It's fine, why did the bridge collapse?" Suo Tianyou scratched his head wondering.
There are too many unexpected factors, and no one can say what the reason is.
The bridge is broken, and the road still has to go.
There are two choices before them. One is to retreat to the willow forest and go up and down the river to find another bridge that is not known where it is and whether it is intact. This choice is not impossible, but it is nothing more than a waste of time; Find available transportation and wade across the river.
Wu Wei suddenly clapped his fists: "By the way, the kayaks we brought with us when we evacuated from Haicheng are still usable?"
Everyone looked at Yu Ze when they heard it, and their eyes lit up.
Yu Ze took out all the kayak paddles and other equipment, the items were still there, and the damage was different. They experienced various dangers, large and small, when they were in Haicheng, and a lot of equipment was directly scrapped. Fortunately, Yu Ze The space is large enough to accommodate everything, and he recycles even the most worn-out equipment.
Chu Xingzhou calculated the time in his mind: "Well, you guys check your equipment, and I'll go ahead to explore the way. If there is no danger in the water, we will try to cross the river before dark, and find a place to rest on the opposite bank."
Once launched, their combat effectiveness will be discounted, so early investigation is necessary.
Xiao Nineteen chased after him, he was young and nimble, he ran behind Chu Xingzhou in a few steps, raised his head and said, "Brother Xiaozhou, I will go with you, Xiaohong can go into the water, and it can help with the investigation."
Although he was still a child, he always tried his best to help and never held back. Chu Xingzhou turned his head and saw the serious boy, and put his arms around his shoulder: "Let's go, together."
Xiao Jiu called back the free-ranging pet goldfish by the river, and Xiao Hong was now as big as a cow, with her mouth swallowing and spitting, waiting for two simple light bulb eyes.
There is a natural advantage in the detection of fish in the water. In less than 10 minutes, he touched the upstream and downstream. Worried about the danger in the water, Chu Xingzhou also specially instructed Xiao Nineteen to wrap Xiao Hong with a water polo summoned by supernatural powers. , so that it can play a buffer role in the face of possible attacks.
Chu Xingzhou: "How is it?"
"No abnormality was found, um, and the water is very empty, there is not a single fish." Xiao Nineteen conveyed the detection results of the goldfish Xiaohong.
Chu Xingzhou had the bottom line in his mind, and went to the damaged part of the bridge to continue checking.About one-third of the bridge extending from the river bank collapsed, the fracture surface was irregular, and large and small gravels were scattered on the bridge surface. Looking from here, there was only a small section of the north bank connected to the river bank, and the main part in the middle The bridge is missing.Chu Xingzhou asked, and the goldfish Xiaohong discovered part of the bridge that had sunk into the bottom of the river underwater.
Apart from the fact that the bridge looks like it was destroyed by an external force, there is nothing unusual about it.
When Chu Xingzhou came back, there were two checked kayaks in front of Yu Ze and the others, one of which could carry four people, Yu Ze, Chu Xingzhou, Wu Wei Xiaojiu, Suo Tianyou, Xi Wei, and Zhou Xiaotong.
Suo Tianyou: "Eat something to replenish your strength before you go, crossing the river is a laborious task."
There were three people on their boat, two of them were girls, and Suo Tianyou mainly relied on Suo Tianyou for paddling. Fortunately, his wind ability could provide an extra boost.Wu Wei suggested that he could switch places with one of the two girls, so that the two sides could be more balanced, but he gave up when he was declined, and both parties still wanted to be with their own people.
The kayak itself has an electric device, but there is no electricity now.
Yu Ze and the others had experience in rowing together, so they quickly arranged their seats. Chu Xingzhou, Yu Ze, Xiao Nineteen, and Wu Wei lined up from front to back.The three of Suo Tianyou were very confused. Wu Wei gave him a drill, taught him how to exert strength and control the direction, and finally patted him on the shoulder: "If you can't do it, please ask Xiao Nineteen to let him lead you with a goldfish."
The distance from the river bank to the water surface is high, and there is no dock, so it is not easy for people and boats to enter the water.
Suo Tianyou's ears twitched when several people were observing and groping for a way to enter the water on the shore. He is a person with wind abilities, and with the blessing of abilities, he is more sensitive to changes in air currents and sounds.
"Someone is here."
Suo Tianyou reminded, staring at the direction where the person appeared, the rest of the people also stopped what they were doing.
The people who came did not hide their whereabouts, and were even very high-profile. When they saw them, they raised their arms and shouted and shouted, but they were too far away to hear what they were shouting.
After noticing that there were outsiders here, Yu Ze concentrated and noticed more.
He could feel that in the high-rise houses in the distance, there were more than one pair of eyes peering at them through the windows.
He lightly touched Chu Xingzhou's shoulder, implying his own discovery, Chu Xingzhou nodded slightly, and the two of them agreed tacitly without opening their mouths.
The visitor had already run less than 100 meters away from them, slowed down, and yelled at them with his hands clasped in the shape of a trumpet from a distance: "Don't mess around, don't go into the water!!!"
Being so close, everyone finally heard what he was shouting, and a question naturally arose in their hearts, why?
It's just that instead of responding to strangers, I still choose to ask and trust my own people first.
Chu Xingzhou was sure that there was nothing abnormal in the water. If there was, he wouldn't feel nothing at all.
Xiao Jiujiu nodded again and again, indicating that Xiaohong, the goldfish, swam several laps in the water and checked carefully, but she really didn't find anything.
The visitor stopped about five meters away from them. This is a very cautious distance, which not only ensures the safety of each other, but also does not affect the conversation between the two parties.
Both sides are looking at each other.
The visitor seemed to have run a long distance, panting and sweating slightly, and looked very young, with a pair of round-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.
Suo Tianyou raised his chin slightly and asked, "Who are you?"
"I..." The young man paused, recalling something, and asked, "Hey, I should be asking you, who are you and how did you come here?"
"Strange, can't you come here?"
"No, um..." The young man didn't expect Suo Tianyou to be so aggressive, his eyes were confused, and he said, "It's just that no one has been able to come here for a long time." So he was a little excited when he saw outsiders.
The information revealed in these words was interesting, and Chu Xingzhou decided to show him some kindness.
"We came from Ningcheng to go to the capital. When we got here, we found that the bridge was gone, so we had to find a way to cross the river. Do you know why the bridge is broken? Why do you say you can't go into the water? Is there any problem in the water?"
There are only two passages to get in and out of the island. The inability to enter the south is the fault of the wood spirit, and the inability to enter the north is probably caused by the damage of the bridge. Therefore, Chu Xingzhou only cares about whether there is any problem with the river itself and whether it will affect their crossing.
But the young man's answer denied this guess.
"It's not in the water, but there are monsters on the other side of the river..."
The young man made a gesture and described it to them: "Such a big spider! Thousands of little spiders are born every day, and no one caught in the spider's web can survive."
It turned out that the spider in the willow forest came from the other side, and everyone unknowingly solved a previous doubt.If those small spiders like grains of rice are all capable, then the giant spiders mentioned by the young man are indeed worthy of fear.It was precisely because of previous experience that everyone accepted the young man's explanation and did not think he was lying.
"But we still have to cross the river. Our destination is in the north. It would take too much time to take a detour. If we cross the river here, we can avoid the spider's nest carefully."
The young man scratched his hair, his face was a little anxious: "But the water is not safe!"
Suo Tianyou: "Boy, that's not what you said just now. Why are there inconsistencies? Where is the problem? Is it in the water or on the other side? Don't fool people!"
The young man quickly waved his hands: "I didn't fool you. It's true that there are spiders on the other side, and it's also true that the water is unsafe. Although there seems to be nothing in the water,... how should I put it, you really must not go into the water."
Yu Ze listened quietly all the time, feeling that the person opposite was a bit naive, although he was wary of them to a certain extent, but he was not hostile, and he was very honest in asking and answering.
At this moment, the young man continued solemnly with a serious face: "Didn't you ask me how the bridge broke? In fact, we don't know, but one day, it collapsed out of nowhere. We lost many people to the bridge to check the problem. Only then did I realize that there was something strange in the water, as if there was a whirlpool or a big black hole or a strange gravitational field below, swallowing people or things that entered the range. We saw with our own eyes that people lost control of their bodies as soon as they reached the river surface Twisted, twisted like an abstract painting, no one dares to save it, because no matter who goes there, it will be twisted into an abstract painting, and finally disappear in the water."
"We guess that the bridge may have been destroyed by this ghost thing. Although it is a guess, it is likely to be the case, so it is best not to take risks. Of course, this strange phenomenon does not always exist, but you don't know what it is The time came, and if we hit it, we couldn’t escape. At that time, there were still many people who wanted to leave, and people disappeared one after another, either swallowed by the river or eaten by spiders.”
The young man glanced at the few people in front of him - two muscular men, two beautiful boys, two women, a child, and a weird goldfish. He evaluated their fighting power in his heart, and said : "You guys...even if you are lucky enough to cross the shore, you will still be sent off if you go to the opposite side, so let's say goodbye."
Suo Tianyou felt underestimated, and wanted to fight online in a second, and was about to step forward to argue, when he heard Yu Ze speak.
Yu Ze quickly caught the loophole in the young man's words, and intuitively thought it was very important: "How do you know that the people who crossed the river were eaten by spiders, instead of leaving safely?"
Zhou Xiaotong also sensed something was wrong when he heard it, and immediately joined the questioning team: "Yes, how do you know, you can't cross the river, can you still see what happened to everyone who left on the other side across the river?"
The young man's eyes flickered, as if he shrank a little because he remembered some horrible picture: "Because spiders can eat people for many days..."
The young man faltered for a moment, then summoned up his courage and said, "And their eating habits... Well, they are used to drying food and keeping their heads..."
"It's fine, why did the bridge collapse?" Suo Tianyou scratched his head wondering.
There are too many unexpected factors, and no one can say what the reason is.
The bridge is broken, and the road still has to go.
